**Update: In response to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to uphold the expanded DACA/DAPA injunction, on November 20, the Obama administration appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The following Monday, Texas asked the Supreme Court for a 30-day extension to respond to the appeal (a request that has subsequently been filed by 25 other states), but the court granted the states only an eight-day delay. As a result, the justices will determine whether or not to take the case in January — keeping the case on track to be resolved by June, [Politico reports.](http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/immigration-supreme-court-obama-executive-order-216332) **

Yesterday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld the injunction on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) in a 2-1 decision. The injunction was originally issued by a Texas federal judge in February, and the programs have been in a holding pattern ever since.

This most recent ruling “further dims prospects of implementation of the executive action before Obama leaves office in 2017,” the [AP reports.](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/c831b69f2011455a860d7c0947dc88ee/appeals-court-rules-against-obama-immigration-plan) Although the Justice Department said today that it disagrees with the ruling, and that it will appeal to the Supreme Court, proceedings could take months.
